"I can't call in sick. If I take time off, Editor-in-chief Zhou will be angry with me. I don't want to lose my job."
Yu Lili threw on her clothes as she spoke and glanced at the clock. It was almost nine o'clock. She should have left half an hour ago!
Yu Lili felt as if her world was falling apart. In despair, she sat on the sofa and shouted, "I'm screwed, I'm going to be almost an hour late!"
Ou Ming felt helpless. He had never seen Yu Lili look this frightened before.
In her rush, Yu Lili didn't notice the change in Ou Ming's expression. She ran to the bathroom to put on a pad and grabbed a few more for later. She picked up her bag, shoved the pads inside, and ran out the door without another word.
When she started to run, Yu Lili's body screamed in protest. She ached all over.
Sh*t...
